Hey everyone, thanks for all your feedback on this issue.
'Lack of AI-triggered mistakes/DNFs/yellow flags in Career mode' has been marked as 'Awaiting Patch' on the Community Raised Issues thread.
Thanks!
I have done first three races of the driver career and there has been no DNFs, no AI mistakes and even no yellow flags! Also all three races you just get DRS trains where they all just follow each other. AI seems to take no risks ever! Surely bugged?
I appreciate some F1 races you get this in real life but to have this every race, makes for a very boring game!
Yep finished 8 races nothing happens the AI not even pit when they front wing broke.
Same thing for me, finished a couple of races, 0 yellow flags, 0 DNFs, 0 safety cars, etc. The AI just forms a massive 10 car DRS train and barely even attempt to overtake.
I also skimmed through literally every single career mode video I could find and found the same thing in all of them.
No matter how good the changes are to this year's career mode, the racing itself is incredibly dull and you have a feeling like you're the only one actually racing, the other drivers just exist for you to overtake them.
Yep. Just done my fourth race and nothing happened. They just follow each other like it’s a scalextrix track.
i suspect it’s the new ERS. The AI prob just all use it at the same time so they just end up following each other in a line.
why didnt the content creators and testers pipe up about this? It’s more of a problem than the handling imo.
Let’s revamp the career mode but screw up the actual gameplay. Shambles.
This was also last Wednesday.
....
In Grand Prix mode the AI makes a lot of mistakes, some of them lockups (a little bit unrealistic imo -> Not the lockup, the way the AI make the lockup 😬) and of course has DNF's (90% of this DNF's are from drivers who are in front of me....)
@EA_Groguet and @EA_Vendcera last year you both helped raise this for me. I think you both forwarded video/pictures and work arounds that could find albeit they would work randomly.
Sadly problem still exists but slightly different. Still can’t mail it down when Ai damage is disabled. Think it’s after mandatory pit stop but can’t be sure.
So this is limited testing this as I’m playing around with other aspects of game. But when Ai crashes into something. They receive no damage. Only time they appear to now. Is when I brutalise them full send 200mph when they are slowing for a slow corner.
Any how just a couple of pics I took earlier. Ferrari attempts dive bomb on Williams. And as you can see not so much as a chip on wing. Yes I checked when they were both further round the lap. And nothing.
Codemasters Ai is why I average 600 hours every year. Except last year was half that simply because nothing happened. But also I don’t hold much hope for this year. Because I know how complex fixing the Ai post launch is. But I’m forever the optimist.
But how can people get excited and want to play the new career ( pleasantly surprised btw). When Ai avoids incidents at all costs
F1 22 Ai was almost perfect for me. If players want to see them battle and wipe each other out… they can’t be surprised the Ai will also crash into player.
@NeoncphYep in 22 you just hadt to get the Ai are just Ai. Not free thinking react on the fly humans, So you/we just needed to learn how they raced and adapt our style. 90% off the time the Ai wiped me out. I’d watch replay and think yeah I deserved that
Yes I was gutted when they made Ai capable off breaking laws off physics to avoid each other
I'm playing F2 career mode to get to F1 and I play full races with Sprint and 100% racing. I'm already in the eighth race of the F2 season and so far there hasn't been a safety car or even a car running from artificial intelligence or a car breaking down, not to mention that they don't even overtake each other, they make a straight line and no one overtakes anyone. I haven't reached F1 yet but I hope it won't be like that, but F2 is standardized and no errors happen and safety cars don't happen, I don't know why, not even if I force the safety car in the race it doesn't appear, at most it does. a red flag but the safety car never appears, I think it's bugged
I have been completing a 50% race F1 career mode and can confirm it has been the same. No yellow flags. No safety cars. The AI form trains and stay there for the full race.
Hello @IAGOBERNARDES11 Yes, unfortunately in career mode the AI currently do not crash or suffer mechanical failures. This is a known bug, and the team are currently looking into it.
Yup, been doing a two player career, AI don’t ever seem to crash and there don’t seem to ever be yellow flags or safety cars, they have made mistakes like outbreaking themselves and going wide and engines blowing up but that’s it. DRS trains is still a thing and you can’t break free as they seem to all deploy it very similarly. Only way to break free is you undercut massively and get yourself clean air. I would also say the AI don’t seem to pass each other very often, unless a massive speed advantage is gained on a straight but they get alongside then back out most times. Having like 5 cars battling for the win every race with in a second or two of each other doesn’t scream realism to me. Neither of us has had a mechanical failure either but we have been managing the engine parts well so could be that. DRS has had failures tho and I had an ERS failure so this maybe is working like it should. Also seemed to me like the AI had way more battery than me but again that could just be in too aggressive on the battery. Handling is much better though now in my opinion.
So yeah main issues seem to be:
DRS/ERS trains, can’t break free
AI struggle to pass each other even Verstappen
AI crashes barely happen, but can make mistakes in outbreaking themselves
Safety Cars and Flags don’t happen on any Careers
Hope this helps as if these are fixed and AI race like in 23 it could be awesome game, enjoying driving it so far.
